  • Patent number: 11687723
    Abstract: Text blocks are semantically compared, and a semantic score is provided to a user. The semantic score is based on application of a machine learning model trained on a text corpus. One or both of the two text blocks may have one or more words that do not appear in the training text corpus (skip-words). Skip-words are used, rather than discarded, to adjust the semantic score via, for example, a penalization function. The user provides feedback about the accuracy of the adjusted semantic score, and the feedback is used to perform supervised learning model.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11321526
    Abstract: A system identifies a first text fragment as being under evaluation, wherein the first text is in at least a first document being compared to a second document using a first semantic model. The system compares the first text fragment to one or more text fragments of the second document. The system identifies top-k text fragments in the second document that are most similar to the first text fragment based on processing using the first semantic model. The system presents a user, via a graphical user interface (GUI), the top-k text fragments in visual proximity to the first text fragment.
